Posting from the iPad

I’m not an iOS guy, but sometimes it’s nice using the iPad on the couch or in bed. A disadvantage of using an SSG for blogging is that posting from mobile, while possible, is a convoluted mess.

Using WordPress via the JetPack app on the iPad is not the worst experience. At least it’s possible. So that’s what I’m doing here. I’m relaxing on the basement couch with the dog sleeping next to me and typing this on the old iPad Pro with keyboard. It’s a refreshing change of pace, even if it’s not something I’ll do all the time.

    I sometimes post from my iPad to my Hugo site. It’s convoluted: it involves pulling from my git repo, editing a Markdown file using something like Runestone, then commiting and pushing (and at least I have GitHub Actions so I don’t need to build the site locally, then rsync it).

    It’s possible. But it’s not as practical as using a CMS editor.

      I tried doing that for a while, but gave up. I don’t spend much time on the iPad, so it was no great loss. But when it’s easy, I don’t mind having it 🙂
